Striking Illustration of the Influence of
the Mind Over the Body.

Edward Irving, the eloquent preacher
who, fifty years ago, hyde dissenting
chapel IN London q fashionable place Of
resort, had q powerful intellect and o
stronger will So strong was it that even
the terrible cholera succumbed to its
sway.
One Sunday morning, during the cholera
season Of 1882, he rose in perfect health,
but at breakfrst-time he became very cold
and suffered great agony. A physician
found him with sunSen eyes and pallid
cheeks, and evidently prey to the fatal
malady Irving believed that disease was
sin, which could be mastered by faith.
The fact that the cholera was likely TO
ovcrmaster him was evidence, as he
thought, that he had sinfuNly lost his hold
of faith. His belief provoked him to moral
struggle, in which his powerful will was
pitted against his collapsed body.
He tottered 10 church With dimmed
sight, swimming head, and labored breath,
he assembled the stairs, grasped the sides
OF the pulpit and looked wistfully around.
His natural energies responded to the
summons OF his will. The crisis came;
cold sweat broke out all over his body, and
stood in great drops on his forehead and
hands. For more than an hour he preach
ed with fervor unknown to him, though
he was the most forvid of pulpit orators.
He walked home, ate very little, and in the
evening preached in crowded school,
room--thus giving one of the most striS-
ing Illustrations OF the influence of the
mind on the body.

HISTORY OF Painted Statue OF the Grenl
New England Orator.
Travellers who journey down the
south shore frequently put the query
''What is itP' to their fellow-tourists,
with relation to a snow-white statue ia
be seen on the left of the track, Just
before the train halts at the bingham
station. The glimpse one gets OF
the figure as the cars speed past
is tantalizingly short, and even the
most experienced eye has barely time
to note its likeness to Daniel Webster,
and possibly the additional fact that ii
stands upon a low mound at the rear
of row of buildings. Why, if it is
really work of merit, as it appears to
be, it should be given so inconspicuous
position, and when and how it came
into existence at all, arc questions
which prove puzzles alike to the in.
curing traveller and all his compan.
ions.a A representative of the Herald,
however, who has made inquiry re.
speeding the statue, has learned that
the figure was presented to Mr.. Sam.
uel Gilbert, of Boston, about thirty
years ago by his relative and intimate
friend, Mr.. Edward Winsor, who pur.
chased it at sale Of wood-carver'a
effects. Mr.. Gilbert placed it upon
mound of earth in his garden at Dor.
chester. where he then resided, on the
estate now occupied by Mr.. Edwin II.
Sampson. Ball Hughes, the sculptor,
examined it while it was thus located.
and appeared TO be much pleased with
it. He did not, however, fancy
its position on q mound, and said
to Mr.. Gilbert that he ought to have
placed it on the lawn in front of tho
house and in view of the street. Upon
Mr.. Gilbert remarking that he would
have done so had it been of marble in
stead of wood, the sculptor said it did
not matter of what material the statue
was made, as many fine figures werc OF
wood. The statue is six feet in height,
in Mr.. Webster's favorite and usual
position in a drawing-room, and repre-
sents him as he looked few wears be.
fore his death, Its bearing is at once
graceful and dignified, and were il
chiseled from marble instead of carved
from wood it would long ago, doubt
less, have occupied q most prominent
position in somo public place. 1t was
probably carved for the ligure-head Of
a ship. On Mr.. Gilberts removal
from Dorchester. a number of years
ago, he presented the figure to his rel.
alive. Mr.. George M. Soule, of Hing
ham, who had always admired it. It
was then taken to the town named
and placed in its present position on
the land of Mr.. Soule. The latter gen.
tleman died several years since. The

a Clever Youth wien Banr..

The young man with bangs isn't always

Chicagoan had just returned from college
The father was a brusque, matter-of-fact
man, who had no liking for anything dud-

son returned with bangs and various other
insignia of dudedom. The old gentleman
surveyed him critically when he appeared
IN his office, and then blurted out: ''Young
man, you look like fool" Just at that
moment, and before the young man
had time to make fitting reply, friend
walked in. "Why, hello, George, have
you returnedl" he asked. Dear me, how
much you resemble your father'' $50 he

by singular disappointment. She had

land and sworn an oath that he would
never marry. Her father had kicked him
out of the house; that was really what had
separated them. She wasn't to blame,
except that her love for him had kept
him until the old man caught up with
him, so to speak. He swore he would al
ways be true to her, that he couldn't

that sort of thing, you know. Just what
you've said yourself frequently. She was
not allowed to correspond with him until
she was old enough not to want to. She
cherished the dream AMI loved
him mainly because no other
man tried to dispel 1t. Years hail passed,
and ono day she got letter with the
Hong Kong postmark, and the tears came
to her eyes as she looked at the dear old
handwriting. He was coming home
would arrive on a certain date. There
came f1utter to her heart. She opened
an old camphor- wood trunk he had sent
her from Japan years and years before,
and she took out bundle of old, fade1
letters. One by one she opened and read
them. Out of their worn pages fell the
petals of dead, dried roses, pale, colorless
violets, little bits of maiden-hair fern,
flowers that might have been any thing to
eyes that had not seen them in their
bloom, but that were precious with assoc
Citations. All, how the years dropped
from her memory as she looked upon those
dim-shsdowed messages from the past.

leaves whose fragrance bore the happy
love of youthful lover half century ago.
All, me! the roses are not half so sweet to-
day; and the pale, dead marigold that
falls in pieces at your feet has still a beauty
far beyond them all.
But let us go back to the old maid. She
waited with impotence for the day to
come when she should be united to her old
sweetheart. No cruel father with hob
nailed boot could come between her and
her love now. Tho day came, but he did
not. She thought he'd go to hotel She
did not want to be seen asking for him, so
she called the boy AMI aslke him to copy
the names Of the arrivals that day. She
was walking up and down the floor until
he came back. He returned and handed
her card, which read:

three Chinese servants, from Hong Kong"

MALARlAG. POISON.


Eta Existence Described as Long Ago rs IN,
Decline Of the Roman Republic.
When we talk Of the Roman climate
we can not dissociate the theme from
its distinctive characteristic-the ma.
larial poison. What is this poisonP
TIL the researches of Tommasi- Crudell
and Krebs, published in 1879. the most
plausible answer was that Of DR.. Leon
Colin. who defined it as an ''intoxica-
tion tellurique,' an earth-poison gen.
Grated by the surplus vegetative ener.
gy Of an abnormally fertile soil. whose
fecundity was very partially absorbed
by the scanty sprinkling Of herbage
that overspread its surface. Cultivate
this soil, render to this vegetative
energy its appropriate pabulum, and
you provide the antidote to malaria.
Such, stated with extreme brevity, was
the theory of Leon Colin. embodied IN
a work of great ability, which, appear
ing as 1t did, at the outbreak of the
Franco-German war, encountered o
public too preoccupied to give il the
bg40y IL uC6ChlC0s 4OAilldSl~NIuuCll
combats this theory. He denies that
the Roman Campagna possesses any
thing like the exuberant fecundity
with which it has been credited Its
really fertile tracts are few and far
between, rarely compensating the
agriculturlst for his labor--as, Indeed,
was well known to ancient husband
men. Then again, If the poison were
gaseous, as Leon Collins theory i'm.
plies, the malaria-surcharged atmos.
phere ought to be at its maximum al
MONDAY, when the exhalation from thu
soil is greatest; but on the contrary.
the localities in which malaria Is mos
pronounced reach their maximum a
danger in the morning and evening
those periods of the day when the diff
ference of temperature between earth
and atmosphere renders the ascending
aerial currents most powerful and mosl
apt to transport the material of the
poison. That material, according to
Tommasi-Curdeli, is living ferment,
encountered equally on the mountain
and plain, in dry soils and in humid.
Its existence was suspected and unset,
entifically described as long ago as tho
decline of the Roman republic by the
agriculturist Varro, and its nature and
form are defined by Tommasi-C rudelI
as "Schizometes bacillaris. For its
development 1t requires temperature
not lower than twenty degrees G. "a
moderate degree Of humidity and the
immediate contact Of the atmosphere
with the soil it infects. As the absence
Of single one Of these conditions pre-.
vents the development of the malaria.
SO certain localities exhibit at times q
natural suspension Of the poison. In
winter, for example, the fall Of the
temperature below the required twenty
degrees causes thermic suspension:
the loss Of the necessary humidity un.
der prolonged drought causes hy.
daulic suspension; and the lnterposi.
tion<of sheets Of water or OF thick

diate contact Of the atmosphere with
the infected soil, produces an atmos.
